- Abstract
The article presents information on the reduction in the consumption of dietary sodium in the U.S. by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The excess intake of dietary sodium leads to hypertension, diabetes and chronic kidney disease that contribute in cardiovascular diseases. There are around 11 million cases of hypertension in the U.S. just due to the excess intake of sodium. The methods of reducing the sodium intake includes monitoring of the sodium content in the food supply, production of lower sodium products, and reduction in the amount of sodium served or sold in marketplaces.
